wikipedia:InnoDB is a storage engine for the database management system MySQL and MariaDB. Is the default engine since MariaDB 10.2 (2016).

InnoDB supports:

• Both SQL and XA transactions
• Tablespaces
• Foreign keys
• Full text search indexes, since MySQL 5.6 (February 2013) and MariaDB 10.0)
• Spatial operations, following the OpenGIS standard
• Virtual columns, in MariaDB
• Page compression

Activities

• Show database engine:

  show table status like '<table name>';

Related commands

• mariadbcheck, can checked InnoDB tables with CHECK TABLE, but not repaired them with REPAIR TABLE
• show table status
• SHOW PROCESSLIST;
• show table status where name = "YOUR_TABLE_NAME" (Includes engine type)

SELECT TABLE_NAME,
      ENGINE
FROM   information_schema.TABLES
WHERE  TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbname';
